Subject: Re: problems with texfonts.map
What version of palatino.sty are you using? The version I
have uses the "fontname-1.6" short names, which would
generate "pplr" "ppli" etc. There is no indication of
full names such as "Palatino".
If you want to use such names, and it would be highly desirable
if only the wretched incompetence built into Intel-dependent
operating systems could be avoided, texfonts.map ought to provide
a completely permissive approach.
I have not seen a texfonts.map that offers anything but entirely
permissive aliases for the LaTeX circle fonts, but I would
suppose that it ought to contain something like the following:
pplr Palatino
pplr Palatino-Roman
pplr Palatino-Regular
Palatino-Regular pplr
Palatino-Roman pplr
Palatino pplr
which ought to give you a pretty complete set of aliases.
I don't know which issues of Palatino use plain "Palatino"
as the PostScript FontName, which is what is really at issue here.
I don't think any standard ones do.
But it shouldn't matter. If you have a thorough set of aliases,
any of the above should work.
I still wonder where you got a "palatino.sty" that refers to
{Palatino} rather than {ppl}. Even more curious, how is it
prevented from asking for "Palatinor" which would get you nowhere.
Have you tried caching texfonts.map somewhere where the path seraching
can't get at it? If that's what's at fault, the raw palatino.sty
protected from any reference to "texfonts.map" may get you just what you need.
